I am a seeker committed to my own healing and evolution in service of living a nourishing, sustainable, and vibrant life. I am passionate about reclaiming my sovereignty and supporting others on their path. I am aligned with nature, constantly exploring the depths of my inner world, and I have reverence for ancient and indigenous cultures and traditions. 

​

My purpose is to serve as a guide and aligned support along the transformational journey of remembering and honing our innate wisdom, potential, and power. I hold grounded, nourishing, and expansive space that facilitates this process. I support clients to slow down and define or reconnect with their values, needs, and desires. This is the process I’ve worked and refined across my lifetime. I call on over 20 years of experience working with clients to support each individual's process of refining their life to become one that is honoring of the Self. To me, a life that is self-honoring is one that is attuned to my needs, heart, energy levels, and natural rhythms. One that feels spacious, generative, and fulfilling.  I wonder what self-honoring looks like for you?

 

There are many different ways to traverse the path towards a life that honors the Self. For me, it began with yoga. In 2007, I started a dedicated physical practice to get into my body and settle an ever-busy mind. Over time, I immersed myself in the integrative practice of yoga, the ancient science of self mastery, liberation and evolution. My practice incorporated my love for yoga, self reflection, nature, energy, devotional chanting, transformational breathwork, and sacred rituals. After a lifetime of exploring means of support that focused on addressing thoughts, emotions, or the physical body as separate entities, I can definitively say that we are more than the sum of our parts. It is why I offer an integrative approach that allows my students and clients to feel seen, heard, and supported at all levels of their being. This, in my experience, is how true transformation and liberation occurs.

 

In 2018, I decided to deepen my yoga practice and personal development efforts. After years of being a high-achiever, following all the rules, checking all the boxes, and meeting all traditional metrics of success - I was often exhausted and deeply unsatisfied. It was "fine" until it wasn't. Deep down I knew that there was so much more to life. That something greater was calling me. That the answers were not outside me, but within. I decided to stop looking outside myself for the answers. After about a year, the path became clear: take a sabbatical from my legal career, slow down (way down), and follow the call to live and study in India. And so, I did.

​

The years since first arriving in India have been a living process of harmonizing my life, my passions, and my work. I am passionate about making transformative change and supporting others do the same in order to live a life that they have reverence for. A life that is honoring of the Self and sustainable. After two decades of serving corporate and legal clients from all walks of life, from indigent criminal defendants to the C-Suite of the Fortune 100, I now bring my results-driven, practical approach to my work as a coach, facilitator, and teacher. My logical and action-oriented approach is balanced by my grounded presence, knowledge, and skill in working beyond the mind, with the body, energy, and spirit. My offerings support individuals to identify and honor their needs, find and use their voice, take up space, and to access and reclaim their feminine powers. My clients are empowered by my presence to show up vulnerably.

 

My offerings are holistic; mindfully and intuitively curated to address the mind, heart, body, and spirit, and to take clients beyond their perceived limitations. They are backed by years of dedicated practice and training. I practice, study, and am certified to teach yoga. I have been initiated into the Himalayan Yog-Vedantic lineage, including the Himalayan Kundalini and Kriya Traditions, as taught by Anand Mehrotra (200 and Prenatal YTT, Dasha Mahavidya and Nitya Devi Initiations). I am a certified Forrest Yoga teacher. Additionally, I practice and have been initiated into Shoden Level I and Okuden Level II in Usui Reiki Ryoho. Finally, I am a Sacred Depths Transformational Coach, having studied under Joanna Lindenbaum. 

 

In addition to my deep reverence and appreciation for yoga and reiki, I also acknowledge that they come from cultures that I was not born into. I recognize my privilege as white Western woman and how it allowed me to access the teachings in the ways that I have. I am a humble student of the Eastern religions, traditions, and teachings that I share, and I strive to do so in a way that honors the cultures from which they originated, rather than appropriating them. I continue to study and deepen my Sādhanā under the guidance of Anand Mehrotra. I study the ancient yogic texts, attend Satsang, and revisit the teachings of Mikao Usui. I keep myself in check by seeking guidance from South Asian yoga teachers on the issue of cultural appropriation and reading articles and books on white supremacy, cultural appropriation, and how to honor the roots of these teachings. Accounting for my humanness and acknowledging that some of the best lessons are ones that I learned through failure, I welcome mindful feedback around how I can grow in this area, as well as the opportunity to consciously discuss these topics.

 

Finally, if you've read all this and don't feel resonance, I am happy to share the names of some teachers and coaches that I would recommend, both in India and the West.
